Cybercriminals build fake school websites as education attacks hit record high
Cybercriminals are creating thousands of fake education-themed websites and launching phishing campaigns timed to the new academic year to harvest personal and financial data from students, parents, and educators. The education sector continues to be the most targeted industry for cyberattacks globally, according to Check Point Research findings.
Why it matters: School administrators, parents, and education technology staff need to warn users about credential-stealing phishing campaigns and verify website authenticity before accessing school systems, as attackers exploit the back-to-school period to establish foothold access.
